The fun and games are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Selecting the trap did not automatically import the OID's. Had to manually enter them.</li>
<li>When selecting by OID - make sure you get your order right. The move up / Move down does not work. I got the first one wrong - and therefore the following 12 as well. No way to fix.</li>
<li>If you know the order the OIDS will come in - much quicker just to select position and do them in order.</li>
<li>As the OID text is not carried across - don't waste your time entering it.</li>
<li>When formatting the Alarm in Event Processing Policy - watch out for 256 char limit. UCS traps, when including /n for new line, exceed 256 chars.</li>
<li>Copy and paste within  Event Processing Policy when you have used all 256 chars gives an error. Copy and paste from Notepad ++  instead.</li>
<li>Alarm log shows Event before Message however Alarm Browser does not - makes for a very busy and messy screen.</li>
<li>Alarm Detail is weird - it allows me to show my shortened version of Message in Related Events (without the event title) - in Overview - gives me the whole message only.</li>
<li>When hovering over the alarm in Alarm Browser - I get the line by line message - but again, I do not get the Event Message or the Event.</li>
<li>Nearly forgot - Creation Time and Modification time are Octet Strings - no way to have NetXMS interpret them - come through as rubbish chars.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">So there it is - I managed to get two traps in - with significant effort. Hopefully some of these will be improved.</p>
<p dir="auto">Here is example of correctly formatted trap with times in corrected format.</p>

Excluding the effort to get it there - the Alert Detail is now absolutely fantastic from a readability perspective and usability perspective.</p>
